I was gonna ask what it is about Wyoming that makes people want to leave, but now that I think about it… it’s probably out of sheer boredom.

What’s interesting about Texas is how many people are NOT born there.

Kind of surprising considering you meet people from Minnesota and Michigan everywhere

Can we compare this to a map of state average salaries/extra income to be able to leave a state?

Two possible interpretations of this data – darker green could mean that the state has incentives (economic, cultural, etc) for people born there to stay, or that there are a lack of reasons for people to move to that state.
Of course, both would be true in each state, so what is it about Texas, etc that keeps people there AND doesn’t encourage others to come?
Also showing population growth would be interesting/potentially revealing.

Texans are proud of Texas

Kind of explains Texas’ view of the world. Lack of exposure to other cultures breeds that xenophobic vibe. I was born and raised in Texas, but joined the military to experience the world. Now people find it hard to believe I am from Texas.

I am from a dark green state. Wish I could leave.

I mean it doesn’t surprise me if people don’t move around a lot. Shoot if it was for my movements I’d probably still be in my home state

Upper Midwest checks out. The Great Lakes region in general is filled with the highest percentages of people living there who were born there, compared to the rest of the country. Buffalo and Cleveland are like that just as much as Milwaukee, Grand Rapids, and Minneapolis-St. Paul.

No wonder Texans think their state is great, they never left

Grew up one mile from Michigan. Now live one mile from Indiana. Don’t feel like it but I guess I’ve moved states

Yeah this makes sense for where I live in New England. Lots of outflow, but even more influx and new residents

Texas makes sense. Lots of people born to Mexican parents that will stay in Texas for a long time. Strong Job market too.

Speaking as a native Texan stuck in Texas — Texas is relatively affordable & has a good economy, so people can stay here if they want to. On the flip side, anywhere worth leaving for is going to be more expensive, so it makes leaving the state more difficult.

Is this by population or percentage? Because that matters.

I left the state of my birth when I was a baby. I moved back in 2020 at the age of 60. According to the chart would I be “still” living here?

no one ever wants to live in florida after growing up here.

What is it about Texas that’s so attractive to residents and people who want to move there? Is it the cost of living or housing? It feels like weather wise it would be pretty uncomfortable in summer, and the state government/government seems pretty rubbish. I’m a Brit so genuinely just curious.

Source? I looked at this dataset (ACS2023) while back but wasn’t sure if people would understand it. Glad people do
